Police public order PPE (POCC)

Bristol’s specially designed public order PPE provides protection for police officers in the front line exposed to potentially violent situations when policing crowd control situations and public order violations.

Protection is available in the form of a one piece coverall or two piece coat and trouser combination. A full range of ancillary items makes for a comprehensive offering from Bristol. The list includes tactical boots, helmet, gloves, flame retardant underwear, hood, necktube and a kit holdall.

Using a Hainsworth TITAN1241 and Hainsworth TITAN1250 fabric combination provides a range of protective qualities including inherent flame retardancy, tear resistance after flame exposure, protection against heat and flame from burning hydrocarbons and offer good resistance to petrol, aviation fuels, acids, alkalis and bleach.

Wearer comfort has been a primary consideration in the design of our POCC with the garments incorporating a number of innovative ergonomic features. To meet the needs of modern policing, our two piece garments are available in a range of male and female sizes.

Our Managed Services option is available on these garments to ensure lifetime performance integrity. Inspecting, washing, repairing and decontaminating (where necessary) items of PPE ensures that the original performance specification is maintained. This not only prioritises the health and safety of the wearer but also helps to extend the service life of the garments. This reduces waste associated with premature disposal and helps to make available budgets go further.
